Besides that, it took quit a while longer to get to level 99, unlike getting to level 60 in Diablo 3.

Let's talk about Diablo 2 before the expansion. I remember guides to "How to level to 99 in 7 days". There was even one to do so in 2 days, but it required a friend and a specific build and dedication, but yeah.

Diablo 3's level flow is perfect. The 1-60 matches the Normal-Hell progression, with constant skill unlocking leads to a fun play through.
If you didn't like playing Normal-Hell, then what the hell are you expecting from Diablo?

We at least have Inferno. You may not like it, but it's not like it doesn't exist...

Haters gonna hate, but that's kinda insane already.
And they're not even trolls, that's whats most impressive.

There REALLY are many butthurt people.
Goddamit, just make a civil conversation and give it some time. Things are going to change...

I'm loving this patch. Had lots of fun playing through act 2 inferno with my friend. Difficulty was perfect, just hard enough to make us work, but not too much that it's just stupid stuff.

I can't see a valid reason for one to create more than 1 game per minute, other than to farm some grinding spot.
They could also make that if you quit the game then choose resume in less than half an hour, it resumes your previous game, with the same map and killed/alive monsters.

I lol'd at the Athene video. Never saw any video of him before, but it's so obvious he's just trolling everyone and not being serious.

Some replies gave me a good laugh:
Random drops are random, you need a sufficiently big sample to be able to argue that some item drops more than other.

Considering that the chance for one item to be Rare/Magic/Normal is probably separated from it's type, if you see many rare quivers but not many magical quivers doesn't mean that rare quivers drop more than a rare ceremonial belt.

I agree that the problem with legendaries is the drop rate and not the power.

Honestly many people here find the later acts of Normal very challenging (like they can't beat the last boss for weeks on end challenging)

I am so tired of their contradicting statements. Stop giving every group of gamers a separate PR line. You can't say players will breeze through normal and then throw out this statement in your very next reply.

I feel like it's a jab at my intelligence. I'm not that freaking gullible and to be honest... I am a bit offended that you can't just tell us the truth (that normal will be mind-numbingly easy). That's fine... I've accepted that fact but at least own up to it instead of trying to throw us lines like this.

They aren't trying to lie to you. They are just saying that for some people, normal will be very easy and they will blaze through it, but for the "many people" he referenced, the end of normal got challenging. As they said, they are making the game for a wide range of people, and that wide range of people will include those who think normal is easy and those who think normal is challenging.

^ It all depends on people with skill, if its easy for you then that's good but don't be so naive to think that everyone is a hardcore diablo fan researching the mechanics or has any idea what to do. There will be people that are just... noobs, and thats fine.

They just don't say "It's real hard" because there SURELY is going to be some people that'll play the game non-stop and is real good at it and finish Hell real quick. Then everyone will say "HEY, this game isn't hard!".
Like it happens when some single guild finishes the newest raid in WoW...

That blue post is perfect. High expectations is bad. If you play a game expecting it to be the biggest garbage you've ever seen and it turns out to be the best game you've played in the last years, you'll enjoy it much more than if you're expecting to be blown away by a game that just happens to be good and polished.

It's much easier to be disapointed than to be impressed, and most of the time spent polishing a game is to remove these little things that annoy players when they exist, and go completely unnoticed when they're not there.

the video prob cost 500,000 dollars to produce, or even more

Supposedly it's just one of the many cinematics Diablo III will have.

Nothing surprising about requiring Normal beaten before going hardcore.
Not only Diablo 2 was that way, but beating Normal is planned to be the introduction to the game. Simply "Hey, this is the game, how you play it and these are the guys you're going to meet. Make sure nothing is unexpected before we throw death at you, so don't blame if you start dying later!".

About bug reports: they're glad that people is using the beta for it's intended purpose, ie, testing and reporting.
You can be certain, there's no threshold they'll say "Enought bug fixes, release.". But you can be certain they'll say "We can't release with that bug in."
Proof? WoW Patch delayed by a week due to serious bug

Wait, I'll be able to use my account and play in any region? Just like the old bnet?! Incredible, who would have though that would be possible!
On a more serious tone, I have no idea why that is impossible in SC2...

Applicants must be currently studying at a university or college in the United States and planning to return to school in the fall of 2012 after the internship

Awww... =[

Oh, hai there Boub! I love your work at MMO-Champion and I expect to see as-awesome work here too

They used a type of software called Voronoi.

Wrong. They used a method of space segmentation (tessellation) named after Georgy Voronoi. They did not mention some specific software.

Thanks for clarifying for us all, that's a HUGE mistake. I can see how that warranted a post dedicated to it. Very informative.

When I read that, I though "they're telling a particular software they used? Strange. Gotta google it later".
So it's actually a method named Voronoi. Makes much more sense now. Also, thanks for the link!

I was hopíng to post saying "It's fine, it's good to feel overpowered.", but after I watched the video I feel like it's a bit beyond being too strong and more into "there's no way that body would go that up".
